Native English speaker - has taught over 23,000 lessons: IELTS/TOEFL, Legal/Business, Conversation I am a native English speaker from the United States. I lived overseas in Armenia for almost 10 years, but I live in the U.S. now. I have an M.A. in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (“TEFL”), Cambridge’s CELTA, a J.D. (law degree), an M.B.A., an M.A. in Theology, and an A.B. in Religious Studies and Philosophy. I was a lawyer in the U.S., but I do not practice law now. I used to teach English online full-time, but now I just teach part-time. I would love to teach English online full-time again. I teach Legal English, Business English, IELTS and TOEFL Preparation, Conversational English, and General English. I am uniquely qualified to teach Legal English as I have a law degree, was a lawyer, and designed a Legal English curriculum as part of my M.A. in TEFL. I am qualified to teach Business English as I have an MBA and worked in business law and accounts receivable. I have taught over 23,000 English lessons online. I have also taught English as a second language at the Russian-Armenian University and the American University of Armenia. I use material from the internet and books in my lessons. Please feel free to book a lesson with me. Lessons start and end on time. If you need to cancel or reschedule, use italki's canceling/rescheduling system (24 hours' notice).

That was a great conversational class! Tim discussed my learning goals, reasons for taking a lesson and expectations. He asked me about reasons for learning English and my needs in English. We've talked about many things for today. Tim is calm, caring, casual and nice. It was nice to meet him and I hope to see him again soon!
